I want to use this in a small office room that I share. Will this heater regulate my space w/out heating up the whole room?

It WILL NOT heat up the whole room. Really small space. Don't even know what anyone would use it for.

If your office room is enclosed then yes it will but if it is not then you get most of the heat but some may get to the closest room to your room depending on the size of your office room. but the closer you are to the heater the better. I bought one for my wife and she loves it.

Q: Will it heat up the whole room.A: If left on for a legnthy period on high, perhaps, but it is adjustable. I bought it to replace a ceramic one.It is one of their first ones and was great on those cold cold nights in San Francisco. Its a little noisier than most but it does a good heating job. The high heat element did go out after six months which included many nights that was left on for 8 hours or more. But it's my favorite of the Holmes. One of their late ones was so-so.

Unless you have some significant physical dividers (like cubical walls), this heater will tend to stay "on" until it produces a uniform heat throughout your small office room (in other words, if you're warm, everyone else will eventually be warm). Of course, when the heater is "on", you will feel the heat more intensely, since you will be the closest to the source. If you just want something to heat closer to your own personal space, you might look into the floor mat heaters available from Amazon (search the words: floor mat heater).

If under your desk, probably. Heat will always radiate if nothing stops it.

Yes, I have this heater in my living room and kitchen, which are about that size. The two rooms are divided by a wall with a window and door way in it. One heater does a good job of heating both rooms, we rarely turn both on

Spark,We have been very happy with this unit. We have 3 now. It should heat room that size quite easily. Set the heater to the temperature you want, don't just set it on high because it will continue to heat the room, and it will make your room too hot...

Hi Paul,It depends on the amps of the small box space heater .This is the right way to use the inverter>>> http://www.amazon.com/review/R3RTW2NTIXFOON/Hope this helpsRegards,Angela CS Email Representative

I have the heater in a 14' X 14' room, and it heats the room pretty well, no problems. The only thing I didn't like about the heater is the fact the flame has to be on as long as the heater is on. There in not a separate switch for the flame and the heater.

This is a tiny personal heater, it will heat up your hands if you put them in front of it, or put by your feet to help warm them, but it's not powerful. I don't know how it warms up a whole room, mine doesn't at all. I think a better investment would be to pay about $9 more for a "Lasko 754200 Ceramic Heater with Adjustable Thermostat" which Amazon sells. I have one in my bathroom and it works pretty good, it's also at least 4 or 5 times bigger than this one.

Sorry I can't answer that, I guess that depends on the room size. Go here to see if it helps: http://www.wisegeek.com/how-much-energy-do-space-heaters-use.htm On the menu at the top you can click "best space heaters" and see what they say.

I'm not sure if it will heat up that size room but I want to warn you that the two Vornado heaters I have purchased in the past were pieces of unreliable junk. I ended up spending more money for DR. HEATER (2 of them) and they both work great after over two years of usage - please avoid Vornado if you can.

It's really just a very small personal heater meant for one person so I would say just the size of one office cubicle is the area it will warm.

Just like the other people said, your answer is yes. For me it's not a gigantic heater, I use it for my feet at my desk and it works perfect for that. I guess in a small room it would probably work OK also, just take a bit of time where warming my feet is instant.

20x20 is what I have been using it for and it can get two hot. I think it would heat a large bedroom effectively. It's a great heater. The best space heater I have bought. It's quiet and the side separates so you can aim the heat in different areas.

Yes -- the heat it generates is not dissimilar to a very small space heater. It's nice in my basement.

Not effective in a poorly insulated room or house. I bought three of these and four of the larger 600 watt heaters two years ago. The 400 watt heaters will be given away, but the 600 watt heaters work pretty well in my small bathroom and bedrooms.

No. I tried to use it in a 12 x 20 room and it didn't generate enough heat for the room. It only made noise. I could feel the heat right next to it. It can possibly be used ubder your desk to warm up your feet. I stored mine in the attic. What a waste.

It's a nice little heater, however all heater use a lot of electricity. It is still a 1500 watt heater. Work good in a small space

Don't know about room size, but my desk area is approximately 10 x 6 and it heats the whole area up nicely, especially under my desk where it sits.

This is a space heater, as such, it heats area around it. You can save money, only if you heat the area that you need and lower your thermostat of the central heat.
